The Nigerian Communications Commission has licensed six new Internet Service Providers to operate in the country from January 1, 2026, intensifying competition in the broadband market. The approval, confirmed through the NCC’s updated licensing database, raises the total number of licensed ISPs in Nigeria from 225 in December 2025 to 231.
Five of the newly licensed providers are based in Lagos, while one operates from Owerri in Imo State. The new licensees are Intellvision Technologies Limited, Granet Technologies Limited, Fiber Sonic Limited, Dasol Solution Services Limited, Boost ISP Limited, and Amazon Kuiper Nigeria Limited.
